(b) In circuit 1, is connected with , which is not a series combination of junction. In circuit 2, each junction is forward biased, hence same current flows, giving same potential difference across junction. In circuit 2, each junction is reverse biased, same leakage current will flow, giving equal potential difference across each junction diode. |
